BOTH Disney Water Parks Are Open in Summer 2025: What You Need to Know!
I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of a better way to kick off a Walt Disney World vacation than slipping on a swimsuit, grabbing a tube, and hitting the water slides. And this summer, things are about to get soaked in magic — because for the first time in years, both of Disney World’s water parks will be open at the same time!
Yep, it’s true! Starting May 21st, both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be making waves all summer long — a first since 2019. That means guests now have even more options to splash, slide, and soak up the sun during their summer Disney stay. And here’s the best part…
ALL guests staying in a Deluxe DVC Villa (even those renting points through DVC Rental Store) get FREE water park admission on their arrival day throughout 2025!
Yes, you read that right. Free. Water. Park. Access. I know what I’m doing the moment I check in.
So What’s New This Summer?
This year is extra special, with Blizzard Beach celebrating its 30th anniversary. (Talk about a cool birthday bash!) The park will briefly close from May 1–20 for some final frosty prep, but after that, it’ll be full-on flurries of fun from May 21st through September 7th.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Lagoon continues to bring the tropical vibes with its wave pool, lazy river, and fan-favorite water coasters. It’s the perfect complement to Blizzard Beach’s snow-capped slides and ski-lift scenery.
Personally, I’m really hoping to hit Blizzard Beach this summer. Believe it or not, I haven’t been there since 2000… mostly because I got a wicked sunburn and, well, I’ve had trust issues with Florida sunshine ever since. But with all this buzz and the nostalgia kicking in, I think it’s finally time to face Summit Plummet again. Wish me luck that I don’t break a hip!
Bonus: H2O Glow After Hours is Back!
If your ideal water park experience involves shorter wait times, cool nighttime temps, and dancing under the stars, then H2O Glow After Hours at Typhoon Lagoon is calling your name.

Complimentary snacks
